Hey guys! As I shared in the video, here's the email that went out to my mailing list today (and if you're not on my mailing list, please feel free to sign up on EcstaticSelf.com):
Dear all,
As this year comes to a close, I’ve been reflecting on how much has unfolded — both outwardly and inwardly.
In 2025, we hosted two sold-out retreats, completed a Staff Pick Kickstarter that raised over 200% of its goal,...
I just shared a video publicly that felt important to speak out loud. It’s about embodiment, sexuality, spirituality, trauma, privilege, and the complicated reality of being seen — especially in a visual culture. In the next day or two, I’ll be recording a Patreon-only follow-up where I speak more personally about what’s still unresolved for me, what this has stirred internally, and how I’m actually working with it in my own life.
Throughout history, the penis has been used as a gateway to higher states of consciousness. In our Patron Zoom call, we will discuss how we connect with it and specific practices for unlocking the magic of this magnificent organ.
Here are some of my favorite breathing practices (excerpted from my upcoming book!). I hope you find usefulness and joy in them!
Breath as a Gateway
The breath serves an extraordinary function in the human body. Every moment of every day, we are respirating. One can live for weeks without food, days without water, but only moments without air. For as long as you inhabit this body, you will breathe.
Yet as automatic as the breath is, it is also one of the few...
Another practice from my upcoming book. I hope you enjoy!

Located deep within the belly at the level of the navel is an energy center tied to identity and will. From this place, our inner reality projects outward and the world adjusts to reflect it. Want to change the course of your life? Bend circumstances in your favor? Manifest outcomes that once felt impossible? Focus here.
It was through this space that we were fed by our mothers while still in the womb. It...
In this practice, we dive into the sacral center in our hips. Let me know how you enjoy!!
_________
In a culture that relegates sexual energy as something that is profane, dangerous, or tAs modern culture too often relegates sexual energy to something profane, deviant, dangerous, or taboo — to embrace the current of power that runs through our hips is a quiet act of rebellion. Here, located deep in the pelvis, is a wellspring of creativity, life force, and eroti...
I hope everyone’s having a wonderful end of November!
We are having a fabulous time in Asia. I’ve got lots of stories to share, and have had some truly epic experiences. I can’t wait to update you on our adventures.
In the meantime, here’s some snapshots from our voyage. More to come soon!
Hey guys! More practices from my upcoming book. I hope you enjoy!!!
_____________
Mystics of varying traditions will praise different parts of the subtle anatomy as the pinnacle of consciousness. Focus on the third eye, some say, for it grants psychic insight. Others insist awareness should rise to the crown and dissolve into cosmic unity. Some point toward the navel — the seat of personal power and miraculous capacity. Others champion the underworld gates and t...
Here's another practice from the upcoming book: Ecstaticism!
__________
Once you are comfortable accessing both the lower and upper portals of the energetic body, it is time to recognize the connection between them. These two gates are not separate destinations — they are the poles of a single pathway: the central channel through which consciousness flows.
Sit with a tall, easy spine. Breathe gently. On an inhale, feel your awareness sink down into the earth beneath your h...
Hey guys! Sharing more of my upcoming book with you. Here's how to use the top of your head as a portal to higher levels. Enjoy!
___________________
At the opposite end of the psychic body lies the portal to the heavenly realms, located just above the crown of the head. This apex mirrors the Root Gate: where the lower realms open downward into the depths of Earth, this gateway opens upward into spacious, radiant dimensions of spirit.
Nestled into the base of the neck is a portal to the ephemeral, the drifting, and the hazy… namely the world of visions and dreams. While the third eye is associated with more refined and so-called “higher” spiritual insights, the throat center is responsible for embodied knowing, dream-travel, and psychic impressions. If the heart is the hub of the human experience — the place we call home, the nexus of high and low vibrations — then the throat center is the transition point from t...
Hey guys... here's what I am working on today in my upcoming book, Ecstaticism. I thought you'd enjoy!
The Root Gate — Descent into the Primal Realms
Certain areas of the energetic body are described as portals to other realms of consciousness. The bottom of the pelvis is one such gateway. Located in the center of the perineum—between the anus and the genitals—this vortex opens into a realm of primordial, earthy, potent energies.
